Cabin refurbishment specialist Flying Colours Corp. has extended the range of airframes available for Inairvation retrofit packages in North America. Here at the NBAA show, the Canada-based company (Booth 1208) will be promoting new options available for the Bombardier Challenger 300s and 605s as well as for the Gulfstream G450 and G550 models.

 


Meanwhile, at its facility in Peterborough, Ontario, Flying Colours began working on an interior fit for a Bombardier Global Express. This is scheduled to be delivered to the customer in March 2017. The aircraft is undergoing a complete overhaul and will be outfitted with B/E Aerospace seat frames upholstered in leather. A variety of mood-lighting choices, which will be operated by high definition cabin management system (CMS), will be installed. The aircraft will receive a connectivity upgrade with a Gogo ATG 5000 high-speed data system. The Inairvation package will incorporate these upgrades along with the HD CMS and inflight entertainment system (IFE) from Lufthansa Technik.&nbsp; Flying Colours will also add new exterior paintwork featuring a honeycomb design.

 


“Our team is working really well with Inairvation’s as our mutual experience on the Global airframe plays to our advantage,” said Flying Colours executive vice president Sean Gillespie. “Future completions on the Global will be even quicker as the complete concept will have already been tried and tested. For aircraft owners downtime is money so this combined option of using our own designs, and the pre-engineered items creates significant financial and time savings for them.”

 


Flying Colours is in discussion with several Global Express and Challenger 605 clients interested in the Inairvation installation for their aircraft. The next Global project is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2017. The company also specializes in green completions, interior refurbishment and modifications, heavy maintenance, exterior pain, special mission modifications and avionics installations.
